Chapter 91: Controversy in Kunlun
“Reporting to Sect Master, we did not manage to find any traces of young master or Elder Guan. However, we met a young boy named Cheng Yu and interacted with him,” Elder Yun stood up and placed his hands together as he spoke respectfully to Sect Master Xuan Yang.
“Oh? Then do you guys think this incident is related to him?” Xuan Yang said majestically.
“This incident is not that simple. Although we weren’t able to confirm if it was done by him, the chances of him being the culprit is the highest.”
“What do you mean?”
“That kid is only 18 years old, but he has already broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm,” When Elder Yun said that, everyone was amazed.
18-years-old with Foundation Establishment Realm?! Wasn’t he a prodigy then? His future achievements would be unpredictable! When everyone realized that they were only able to achieve Foundation Establishment Realm, how could they not be shocked by the news?
“Then did you find out who was his master and his sect?” After the shock, Xuan Yang Sect master asked.
“He told us that his master was someone from Limitless Palace. I did not dare to confirm if that was the truth. But we know that when he was attempting to break through to Foundation Establishment Realm, his master gave him three Foundation Establishment Pills. I believe that other than the Limitless Palace who has such capabilities to achieve this because of their old and strong foundations, those who can afford to do this basically don’t exist,” Elder Yun recalled to when Cheng Yu took out the Foundation Establishment Pill, so he sighed.
“Three pills just for him to break through to Foundation Establishment Realm?” Everyone present felt it was a waste. This was overkill! Everyone inside of the discussion hall right now held at least an elder position or higher. Naturally, they would know the preciousness of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
In the secular world Kunlun Sect, they only had a single Foundation Establishment Pill. They were only able to obtain it because the cultivation world Kunlun Sect gave it to them due to the efforts Xuan Yang, who had contributed over the years. Originally, Sect Master Xuan Yang was intending to save this pill for his son to use when he was breaking through to Foundation Establishment Realm. He never expected his son to suddenly disappear! He didn’t even have any idea if he was dead or alive. When Xuan Yang thought of this, he felt himself burning with anger.
“So you are saying that he is undoubtedly from Limitless Palace?” Sect Master Xuan Yang asked agitatedly.
“We cannot be sure if he is from Limitless Palace, but I know that we must not touch him for the moment. In case what he said was true, and he was really someone who had been nurtured by Limitless Palace, if we touch him, it will only bring the Kunlun Sect a calamity.”
Naturally, Elder Yun knew that the Sect Master was very angry as he had no idea if his favorite son was dead or alive. How could he not be angry? However, since they were not able to confirm what Cheng Yu said was true, if they rushed in handling this matter, they might really cause the end of the secular world Kunlun Sect.
“Does he have any experts protecting him? Even if we capture him secretly, no one would know it. Even if Limitless Palace were to come here, we can just say that we did not touch him. They would also not be able to do anything to us,” Although Sect Master Xuan Yang knew that this incident was not so simple, he still looked forward to solving this incident as soon as possible.
“We monitored him for a few days. We were not able to detect any experts around him. But he said that his master comes by every year to check on his cultivation. After he reaches the Golden Core Realm, it will be time for him to return to Limitless Palace. Furthermore, in a few months, it will be the time for his master to pay him a visit. I feel that we should continue to endure for a few more months regardless if this is true or not. I plead Sect Master to think twice on this,”
When Elder Yun heard Sect Master wanted to capture Cheng Yu and bring him up to the mountains, he quickly rejected the proposal. This was definitely not a joke. If a mishap occurred, it would not be something their secular world Kunlun Sect would be able to handle.
They knew that in the cultivation world was always the survival of the fittest. In the eyes of the mortals in the secular world, they were basically immortals. But in the cultivation world, they were just ants. Therefore, their situation was actually a very awkward one as whatever they did, they had to look at the countenance of the cultivation world Kunlun Sect.
“Sect Master, I think we need plan that will take time. Currently, the understanding we have of this kid is too little. Even if he is not from Limitless Palace, since he knows about Limitless Palace, we know that he is someone from the cultivation world. If we forcefully capture him, we might accidentally bring trouble to us. This is certainly not a good thing. I think it would be better to listen to Elder Yun and not touch him for the moment. Wait until we have a complete understanding of him before deciding what to do to him. By then, it’s still not late to do so,” At this moment, a white haired elder sitting on the left side spoke. This person was the great elder of the secular world Kunlun Sect, Great Elder Ku Shou.
“What about Xuan’er and Elder Guan? Why would they suddenly go missing without a trace? We have no idea if they are even alive!” When he saw that the Great Elder had spoken, Sect Master Xuan Yang endured his discontentment.
“If young master and Elder Guan had met an accident, we could only find a good time to enact revenge for them. However, if they are alive, they will definitely not face any danger currently. Therefore, no matter how you view it, I still feel that we should not touch him temporarily,” the Great Elder replied.
Sect Master Xuan Yang sat on the patriarch’s seat. His complexion was very gloomy. Feng Wenxuan was his only son. He had been smarter than others and was also the only person with the best future prospects in the secular Kunlun Sect since he was young. He always believed that with his help, before his son turned 40 years old he would be able to breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Realm. When the time came, he would send him to the cultivation world Kunlun Sect, which would become his Fang Family glory and would also increase the fighting power of the secular Kunlun Sect. However, this time after descending from the mountain, he actually went missing without a trace! How could Xuan Yang not be angered?
“Alright. I will let go of this incident for this moment. But for the Lan Family, I will not let them off. If it was not because of Lan Jinsong and his daughter, Xuan’er would not have descended from the mountain. And since we are not able to find Xuan’er, we shall make the Lan family disappear from this world as well,” Since he couldn’t find Cheng Yu to settle the score, he could only vent all his anger on the Lan family. Besides, they were responsible as well.
“Sect Master, there is also another matter I need to report to you,” Elder Yun stood up and placed his hands together as he reported.
“What is it?” When Xuan Yang saw Elder Yun still had something to add, he knew it was definitely not something good. He was irritated.
“This time, that man also asked me to convey something to Sect Master,” Elder Yun broke out in cold sweat as he was speaking. Although he knew that the Sect Master was enraged right now, he must definitely let him know this message!
“Speak!”
“He said that the Lan family’s daughter is his wife. So, he will be responsible for the Lan family from now on. If something happens to them, he guaranteed that Kunlun Sect would also suffer the same fate,” Elder Yun said cautiously. Although his tone was a bit overboard, he hoped that Sect Master would not be rushed.
Pah! Xuan Yang slapped the tea table beside him. His complexion grew even more ugly. He emitted killing intent as he shouted furiously, ”Too arrogant! Does he not put our Kunlun Sect in his eyes at all?! We must definitely kill him!”
“Sect Master, please think twice! Right now we do not have a clear understanding of our opponent. Since he dared to act this way, it means that he definitely has something he can rely on. The situation in the cultivation world is very complex, so they did probably did it with a motive. They might have purposely tried to find trouble with us to cause us to land into misfortune first!” The Great Elder once again rejected Sect Master’s proposal and gave his opinion.
“We plead Sect Master to think twice before acting!” At this moment, all the elders stood up and placed their hands together as they said.
Sect Master Xuan Yang stood up with an ashen complexion. Although he knew that they kept on rejecting him because they were thinking for the sake of the Kunlun Sect, the one that had met an incident was his son, yet he could not do anything about it. The only thing he could do now was wait. How could he tolerate this?
“Then what should we do now? Don’t tell me you expect us to continue waiting forever? Or wait until they arrive at our doorstep?” Xuan Yang calmed himself down before speaking unhappily.

“Since the Lan family has broken off the relations they have with us, then it would be best for us to find another family to support. Since we were able to help the Lan Family rise to the upper echelon of society, we can also do the same thing to another family. Furthermore, we will also rely on this family to investigate the incident about young master and Elder Guan. At the same time, we can use this chance to monitor Cheng Yu. More importantly, I feel that there might be some huge changes that will be happening in the cultivation world. Originally, it was only Shushan, Fahong temple and Kunlun Sect that had activities in the secular world. However, now there are involvement from other sects, I believe they must definitely have plans. We can also use the new family we are going to support to understand their objective. Although we can’t touch the Lan family for the time being, it doesn’t mean others can’t make a move on them. We can use the new family to deal with Lan family. Borrowing a knife to kill people is better than us having to make a move on them, right?” Elder Feng who had been silent for the whole time suddenly spoke about the idea he had.
When they heard Elder Feng’s words, everyone fell into deep thought. After a while, the Great Elder was the first one to speak, ”Sect Master, what Elder Feng said is right. I believe that is the best solution to our current situation. The most important thing we have to do right now is understand our opponent and increase our fighting power. As for finding the news of young master and Elder Guan, the solution Elder Feng gave us kills two birds with one stone.”
Although Sect Master Xuan Yang still wished to exterminate the Lan family and capture Cheng Yu, the solution Elder Feng gave was the best solution they could think of. He could only force his thoughts into the back of his mind.
